Dave,

I really think that hydrodynamically it probably doesn't make much 
difference between normal tank config (with all the regs, plus the
tank cross sectional area contributing to drag) vs an inverted 
tank config, where the cross sectional area is probably the major
contributor to the tanks drag.

Again, as you stated, with the hoses run up and securely attached
to the tanks, there should be no difference in recovery of a dropped
regulator (plus, most tech divers are going to various types of neck
straps on the primary second stage specifically to avoid the problem of
the dropped second stage.)

Take care and safe diving -

John
